You Can Come Back
-
By Gayatri Anil
Deshpande
(This is a poem
written by me. It’s about how everyone you meet in life leaves an imprint on
you but you always have a choice in deciding whether you want this imprint to
affect your character.)
Everyone has their own tale.
I have mine,
You have yours,
And we have ours -
With every lie,
Every truth, laugh and cry.
We're all a little imperfect,
As well as rough around the edges.
It keeps us from wanting more,
But it makes us want more.
And remember -
When you step into my room,
You carry your story with you
And it merges into mine.
That is when you and I,
We become a 'We'.
We step into another room,
Together this time.
A catchless catch though
Is that you oughtn’t stay forever.
Once you go somewhere,
You can always come back.
Yes, you can come back,
But you may not be the same.
And the room you'd left behind?
It too may have changed.
But, you Can come back.
My story isn't just all Me.
There's a little of me,
A little of you,
And a little bit of everyone.
A step inside a room you didn't like?
Worry not - it wasn't a promise.
It was a choice. And yes, they
matter.
But sometimes, you can step out.
Step out, and close the door.
Close the door
And keep it closed.
Keep it closed
And never look back.
